Summer is here—and so is the flood of parenting advice. But how much of it is actually true?
Join Ana Dolaskie and Desiree English as they sit down with Dr. Liza Lockwood to separate science from social media on this week’s Moms Podcast Takeover.
☀️ A sunscreen breakthrough? The FDA has finally approved Bemotrizinol (BEMT), a next-generation UV filter that’s been used overseas for years. Dr. Lockwood explains why this ingredient is generating so much excitement—and how it compares to the mineral sunscreens many families rely on today.
🏊 The one thing every parent should do before swim season. There’s a simple step that could make all the difference in an emergency, and it’s something one of our hosts wasn’t prepared for.
💧 Do you really need electrolytes—or just a glass of water? From trendy hydration powders to viral wellness claims, the moms unpack what’s worth your money and what’s just clever marketing.
If you’re heading to the beach, pool, or playground this summer, this episode is packed with practical, science-backed advice to help keep your family safe.
